Fractured pelvis both sides

[k_J53]

Hi I have fractured my pelvis the Illium and ischium. I'm 70 with osteoporosis. Normally very active this happened 6 weeks ago on bed rest and using crutches. Wondering if anyone has had this and how long it takes to get back to normal.In a lot of pain

k_J53 - did you mean to post on this forum? fractured pelvis isn't a common result of B12 deficiency which is the main topic for this forum.

Also wondering if you mistyped ilium and picked up ileum (damage to which is a frequent cause of B12 deficiency

You might be better of posting on a forum related to osteoporosis (though osteoporosis can be caused by B12 deficiency - but can also be caused by other conditions)

hope you get the answers you are looking for. Had a broken ankle a few years ago and that was really debilitating.

I presume that you have been or will be referred to a physio - might be an idea to contact them anyway for suggestions on how to keep going with some exercise even though you are on bed rest.
